* [ALSA] sound - fix .iface field of mixer control elementsClemens Ladisch2005-08-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Documentation,CS46xx driver,EMU10K1/EMU10K2 driver,AD1848 driver SB16/AWE driver,CMIPCI driver,ENS1370/1+ driver,RME32 driver RME96 driver,ICE1712 driver,ICE1724 driver,KORG1212 driver RME HDSP driver,RME9652 driver This patch changes .iface to SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_IFACE_MIXER whre _PCM or _HWDEP was used in controls that are not associated with a specific PCM (sub)stream or hwdep device, and changes some controls that got inconsitent .iface values due to copy+paste errors. Furthermore, it makes sure that all control that do use _PCM or _HWDEP use the correct number in the .device field. Signed-off-by: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de>

This patch removes the unneeded call to pci_dma_supported() at bttv-driver.c - Ensure a sufficient I2C bus idle time between 2 messages for saa7134-i2c.c - It is important to write at first to MO_GP3_IO for cx88-tvaudio.c - Use try_to_freeze() instead of refrigerator at msp3400.c - Recognizing the MFPE05-2 Tuner at tveeprom.c - Add new parameter to help identify radio chipsets at tuner module: show_i2c=1 will show 16 reading bytes from detected tuners. - BTTV does generate some Unimplemented IOCTL log at tuner module: 0x40046d11(dir=1,tp=0x6d,nr=17,sz=4) means that it is sending MSP3400 calls to non-msp3400 tuners. Warning eliminated. VIDIOSAUDIO is also called, so debug messages updated.

For same inode X, the ntfs_inode is dirty and thus corresponding on-disk inode, i.e. mft record, which is in a dirty PAGE_CACHE_PAGE belonging to the table of inodes, i.e. $MFT, inode 0. What happens: Process 1: sys_sync()/umount()/whatever... calls __sync_single_inode() for $MFT -> do_writepages() -> write_page for the dirty page containing the on-disk inode X, the page is now locked -> ntfs_write_mst_block() which clears PageUptodate() on the page to prevent anyone else getting hold of it whilst it does the write out. This is necessary as the on-disk inode needs "fixups" applied before the write to disk which are removed again after the write and PageUptodate is then set again. It then analyses the page looking for dirty on-disk inodes and when it finds one it calls ntfs_may_write_mft_record() to see if it is safe to write this on-disk inode. This then calls ilookup5() to check if the corresponding VFS inode is in icache(). This in turn calls ifind() which waits on the inode lock via wait_on_inode whilst holding the global inode_lock. Process 2: pdflush results in a call to __sync_single_inode for the same VFS inode X on the ntfs volume. This locks the inode (I_LOCK) then calls write-inode -> ntfs_write_inode -> map_mft_record() -> read_cache_page() for the page (in page cache of table of inodes $MFT, inode 0) containing the on-disk inode. This page has PageUptodate() clear because of Process 1 (see above) so read_cache_page() blocks when it tries to take the page lock for the page so it can call ntfs_read_page(). Thus Process 1 is holding the page lock on the page containing the on-disk inode X and it is waiting on the inode X to be unlocked in ifind() so it can write the page out and then unlock the page. And Process 2 is holding the inode lock on inode X and is waiting for the page to be unlocked so it can call ntfs_readpage() or discover that Process 1 set PageUptodate() again and use the page. Thus we have a deadlock due to ifind() waiting on the inode lock. The solution: The fix is to use the newly introduced ilookup5_nowait() which does not wait on the inode's lock and hence avoids the deadlock. This is safe as we do not care about the VFS inode and only use the fact that it is in the VFS inode cache and the fact that the vfs and ntfs inodes are one struct in memory to find the ntfs inode in memory if present. Also, the ntfs inode has its own locking so it does not matter if the vfs inode is locked. Signed-off-by: Anton Altaparmakov <aia21@cantab.net>
